They really do need some new music that will help draw in

So, I thought last years Spittoono was the final Spittoono

But they're setting up in the field over there again for this year. Did something change? Or is this an 'updated' version in accordance to all of the other changes in Clemson. You know, white table cloths, craft beer stands manned by people with ridiculous mustaches, food trucks that have everything but normal food....that sort of thing. Based on the recent trends in students and the general area, I expect this to be a semi formal event that we probably have to bring a gift to or some shid.

Hello Spittoono faithful! This is your longtime emcee, Jeremiah Hurley (Yes, they asked me back to help out and I gladly accepted). As most of you already know, there are going to be quite a few minor changes this year. I am going to try to address one of these changes now.

Band schedule: This is a sore subject every time we try to do something a little different. You may have noticed that some of the bands that have played what seems like every Spittoono since the inception, ie The Deadly Crank Dogs, Stone Echo, Doug McCormick..., are not making an appearance this year. The reason behind this has nothing at all to do with any type of disrespect. I have nothing but the upmost respect for all of these performers and am personal friends with most of them. What our intention is in making this decision is to not only open the door for some new artists, but to also bring back some Spittoono favorites from the past like True Blues, The Drovers and LOZ. Ultimately, we would like to have our “staple” groups play every other year to keep some sort of variety while also paying homage to our past. I have been helping with Spittoono in some sort or fashion since I was 12 years old ( this is #26 for me) and I have seen the schedule change many times. Most of the time, bands were just forgotten about and I am trying to make sure that doesn’t happen while still keeping Spittoono “fresh”.

Something new that we are trying is that there will be a second “acoustic type” stage set up beside the beer tent. We are doing this to try to give some of our new or lesser known performers a chance to play for you as well. This will hopefully host two solo or small set groups a night and will play in between the main stage sets.

Due to a miscommunication error, the original schedule that was posted for this year was overbooked by a few bands. Please stay tuned for the updated bands and times.

As in life, there is always change. I hope that all of you continue to support our charities and our local music scene with us this year at Spittoono! Please remember that all of our bands and all of our staff put on this free music festival for the community without any compensation. So please come party with us and let us entertain y’all!!!
